Homeland Renewed For Third Season

Claire Danes, Damian Lewis, and Mandy Patinkin, hollah!Only a third of the way through its fast-paced second season, Showtime’s hit terrorism/espionage thriller Homeland has already earned a 12-episode Season 3 pickup.

We can’t say we’re at all surprised, considering the show’s October 21 episode drew a series high of 1.75 million viewers, and the drama scored six statues at this year’s Emmy Awards — including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
